Rasberry Patch

Every day I get an email from StoryPeople. Most of them are compelling stories, some more so than others. Today's particularly touched my heart:

My great-grandmother sent us out to pick raspberries in her garden while she watched the first moon walk on TV. You'll have plenty of time to see things like that, she said, but those raspberries were carried overland by your great-great-grandfather. She was very wise. I see pictures of the moon walk all the time, but all I have left from him is the memory of those sun-warmed raspberries.
